     With summer winding down, we are certain that many of our readers are heading back to school. But before the semester wears on too long, we would like to give you all an end-of-summer update! Let's get started!
     In the race to get filming for Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients done on time, all of the filming in Australia has now wrapped up! "We are glad to have this important part of the film shot," said director Steven Lawrence. "While it is a short portion, it does contain some of the most important plot points in the film." The cast and crew has now relocated to Romania, where the next few sequences will be filmed. Once again, we are not allowed to share photos of the set.
     In other news, another film closer to its release time, A Bite of MyJobs, is now receiving enhancements in its animation to get it ready for its October 18th release date. "The film has been long delayed," said Drawn to Life Animation head Steve Brocko. "However, this final product will be a film worthy of College of the Canyons' CWEE department." On the same day, Forest of Fear will be featured in 3-D again.
     In the meantime, more preparations are being made for "Ten Years of Going Crazy!," including writing the scripts for next year's short projects. Scripts for Attack of the Fifty-Foot Hamster and Speeder have already been written (the latter of which has been finalized), and the script for Legoettes Take Manhattan will be written in the coming months. Sometime soon, the CGI modeling for Jolly Roger and the Pirate Queen and Com 50 Covert Operations: The Interactive Mission will also start, which will result in the creation of several locations, from Cal Pada's most secret base to the shores of Treasure Island.
     However, what everyone at the studio is excited about is what is planned for after "Ten Years of Going Crazy!" "We have a big, multi-year project planned for the coming years," said LEGO Studios CEO Mark Matthew. "but we won't be talking about it until next year." Until then, the project will be developed behind closed doors.
     Until then, though, be sure to vote for The Second Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Fan Choice Awards! You have through October 31, 2013 to do so!

The Year in Review: 2023

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; December 31, 2023)      As another year comes to a close, we're taking a look back over what happened this year. We were pretty quiet in the build-up to Twenty Years Young , but we did still have a substantial amount of content this past year. January     To kick off the new year,  Hunted: A (Not) Bigfoot Story  was released on January 8. This tale of a hillbilly with overgrown hair and the campers who think that he's bigfoot was created for THAC 2023. While the film did not win any prizes, it did become just one of many entries in the record-breaking competition that will have you stomping with laughter. We also began an audit of the studio archives as part of a final push to finish content for Twenty Years Young , as well as geared up to plow through the projects planned for this year. February     One of those projects,  Howling Hollow: The Forest of Fear , officially debuted on February 1! This special project r

Original Classics as They Were are Returning with "Original Cuts," Coming April 18, 2024!

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; March 31, 2024)     Even in the midst of this celebration, we've just revealed some new ways to celebrate the day-of twentieth anniversary of Mustache Maniacs Film Co.! In addition to some new music albums and the release of artwork from our canceled projects, we're also introducing a new project titled Original Cuts ! What is the Special Project  Original Cuts ?      Long story short, Original Cuts  is a special project that aims to preserve classic Mustache Maniacs Film Co. movies as they were originally released. We realized during the backup of the physical archive last year that these DVDs are progressively getting worse for wear, and with 2015's DVD Archival Project only backing up the special editions of all of these films, these original versions were at risk of being lost forever. Something had to be done, which is where Original Cuts  comes into play.     As mentioned, outside of updating the branding
